Abstract Recent subsalt petroleum discoveries associated with rifted‐margin salt basins have piqued interest in the presalt geology of Gulf Mexico margin. Available subsurface data does not uniquely constrain geometry, so creating an interpretation crustal architecture requires application geological models for extension and breakup. However, published interpretations nature transition from continental rifting to seafloor spreading range magma‐rich magma‐poor. To address this uncertainty, we...
Abstract How high topography can be sustained over long timescales in post‐orogenic mountain belts is a longstanding research question tectonic geomorphology and geodynamics. Here we utilize the well‐documented orogenic paleo‐topography spatial‐temporal exhumation patterns of Pyrenee Mountains numerical modeling study investigating controls on topographic stasis. Orogenic activity Pyrenees ceased at ca. 25‐20 Ma, but decay has only been scale hundreds meters since that time. We use...
Neogene tectonics and geomorphic processes in response to Quaternary climate change drive landscape evolution western Mongolia's Basin of Great Lakes (BGL). The endorheic Khyargas Nuur (Nuur=lake) the BGL is ultimate sink a sequential water sediment cascade from adjacent Mongolian Altai Khangai Mountains. Several intercalated lakes repeatedly joined as one major paleolake controlled by changes atmospheric moisture supply glacial meltwater influx throughout Late Quaternary. Relict shoreline...
Abstract It is well documented that the interplay between crustal thickening and surface processes determines growth of continent‐continent collision orogens from small cold to large hot. Additionally, studies have demonstrated structural style a mountain belt strongly influenced by inherited (extensional) structures, pattern erosion deposition, as distribution shallow detachment horizons. However, factors controlling shortening variable function convergence process efficiency remain less...
Abstract We present the first sequential structural restoration with flexural backstripping of Gulf Mexico US‐Mexico conjugate margin salt basin. construct four large‐scale (100s km) balanced, restorations to investigate spatio‐temporal patterns subsidence, geometry original basin, feedbacks between post‐salt and stratigraphic evolution, paleo‐bathymetry, crustal configurations. The are based on interpretations 2D 3D seismic data, include sedimentary decompaction, isostatic backstripping,...
Abstract Common fault growth models diverge in predicting how faults accumulate displacement and lengthen through time. A paucity of field‐based data documenting the lateral component hinders our ability to test these fully understand natural systems evolve. Here we outline a framework for using apatite (U‐Th)/He thermochronology (AHe) quantify along‐strike faults. To framework, first use transect normal fault‐bounded Jackson Mountains Nevada Basin Range Province, then apply new adjacent...
Abstract Large thermochronologic data sets enable orogen-scale investigations into spatio-temporal patterns of erosion and deformation. We present the results a thermo-kinematic modeling study that examines large-scale controls on variations in exhumation as recorded by multiple low-temperature thermochronometers Pyrenees mountains (France/Spain). Using 264 compiled cooling ages spanning ∼200 km orogen, recent model for its topographic evolution, code Pecube, we evaluated two models Axial...
Abstract The Pyrenees Mountains are a classic example of doubly‐verging collisional orogenic system with flanking retro‐ and pro‐foreland basin systems. Previous bedrock detrital geo‐/thermochronologic studies have observed magmatic exhumation‐related ages that reflect complex thermo‐tectonic evolution the European Iberian plate margins related to break‐up assembly Gondwana, Pangea Pyrenean‐Alpine cycles. This study integrates zircon, rutile apatite U‐Pb dating and, zircon (U‐Th)/He from...
<p>The topographic history of an orogen results from the interactions climate and tectonics, it can be reconstructed sedimentary record its peripheral basins. Previous tectonostratigraphic studies, including flexural models, sparse stable oxygen carbon isotope data South-Pyrenean foreland basin suggest that a major period growth occurred in late Paleocene-early Eocene. To further test this hypothesis, we present stack 658 measurements on whole-rock marine carbonate mudstone...
